readx;

The strength of the Central Corps of the Great Qin Empire under the command of Zhang Jiashi and Li Xin was about 30,000. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Please remember our website: Dagger Qi.>

In terms of the comparison of troops, Zhang Jiashi was not worried that Xiang Yu would break the troops under his command with one blow.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi also knew the deeds of the Battle of Suishui, which did not exist in this time and space, but for Zhang Jiashi, he thought that it was impossible for Xiang Yu to lead a battle with less to win more again.

Because neither he nor Li Xin is the kind of person who will be paralyzed casually.

Especially Li Xin, as the general of the Great Qin Empire, the other party's combat experience can be said to be the most abundant among all the generals under Zhang Jiashi, although Xiang Yu is not a person with less combat experience, but compared to Li Xin, Xiang Yu is still a little tender in this regard.

As for Zhang Jiashi, what worries him is not Xiang Yu's combat experience, but Xiang Yu's own possession, the kind of command ability that can be said to be the unstoppable.

Xiang Yu is proficient in the art of war, which is not what Zhang Jiashi fears the most, but once Xiang Yu takes the lead in breaking through the formation he arranged, then many times for Zhang Jiashi, it is a situation that makes him very headache.

In the battle of the giant deer in this world, despite his intervention, Xiang Yu had no way to complete his battle in the battle of the giant deer in the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located. However, he still took the lead mainly by relying on his personal ability, and directly broke through the combat formation arranged by Zhang Han.

This situation is something that Zhang Jiashi has to guard against.

And it is not that there is no way for Zhang Jiashi to think that Xiang Yu will lose a big loss, but that Zhang Jiashi does not think that he can do this.

That is, he let a few lieutenant generals with good strength limit Xiang Yu's ability.

The idea was good, but Zhang Jiashi didn't think that his lieutenant generals could do it.

If Zhang Jiashi really intends to do this, then for Zhang Jiashi, the generals sent out to block Xiang Yu under his command are probably like meat buns beating dogs, and there is no return.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jiashi still planned to have a hard time with Xiang Yu.

......

In terms of generals, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that he could get Xiang Yu's perversion. However, the factors in terms of officers are not as good as Xiang Yu's pervert, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the elite troops under his command can't defeat the Chu army.

Although the Chu army should have dispatched all the knights this time, and the knight troops under Zhang Jiashi's command were not small, in terms of numbers, maybe a little more than Xiang Yu's five thousand knights.

If in the past, Zhang Jiashi would not have planned to do this, but to maintain the battle formation as much as possible, and then engage in consumption tactics with Xiang Yu.

For Zhang Jiashi, this point is more in line with Zhang Jiashi's operational arrangements.

However, Zhang Jiashi did not intend to do this, but there was a reason, because among the more than 5,000 knights, there were about 3,000 knights, who were already familiar with using the Takahashi saddle with double horses to fight.

Zhang Jiashi wanted to use these 3,000 knights who may have improved their combat ability to a considerable degree due to equipment factors to make Xiang Yu realize that sometimes, some details are enough to determine the victory or defeat of a battle.

Three thousand knights equipped with Takahashi saddles, how much combat ability can be exerted, Zhang Jiashi still doesn't have much confidence in his heart. But for Zhang Jiashi himself, the five thousand knights under the command of Xiang Yu happened to be the biggest touchstone before the Huns duel.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiashi did not let the troops choose to carry out the overall battle array, but let his infantry units form a defensive formation to protect the baggage troops.

As for the candidate to lead this army in battle, Zhang Jiashi chose to be a knight lieutenant under Yu Yong, and his name was Zhang Wu.

After Zhang Jiashi met this person by chance a few years ago, Zhang Jiashi was a little skeptical that this person would be Zhang Wu, the Lang Zhongling who had become a confidant of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng and had the merit of the dragon.

Because of Zhang Wu's historical description, he is even more of a literati:

In the "Historical Records: Emperor Xiaowen Benji", there is such a record: "Prime Minister Chen Ping, Taiwei Zhou Bo and others made people welcome the king. The acting king asked Zhang Wu and others to make an agreement: The ministers of the Han Dynasty were all generals of Emperor Gao, and they were trained in the soldiers, and they were scheming and deceitful. Particularly afraid of Emperor Gao, Empress Lu is majestic. Now that Zhu Lu has been punished, the new bloody Beijing master, this is the name of the king, it is not credible. May the king say that there is no going forward, so as to see the changes... It was ordered that Song Chang participated, and Zhang Wu and other six people took the order to Chang'an. The Gaoling rested, and the Chang'an view of Song Chang Xianchi changed. It is to make the servant infant and the Marquis of Dongmu live in the Qing Palace, and the son of Feng Tianzi is driving the law and welcomes the residence. The emperor entered the Weiyang Palace on the same day. It was night to worship Song Chang as the general of Wei and pacify the northern and southern armies. With Zhang Wu as the lieutenant general. ”

According to Zhang Wu's life description, he himself was the lieutenant commander of Dai Guolang and the advisor of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty.

In 180 B.C., Zhou Bo Chen Pingdang cleansed Zhulu and welcomed Liu Heng, the acting king. Zhang Wu suspected that there was fraud and dissuaded Liu Heng from going to Chang'an, but the advisor Song Chang objected, thinking that the Lu family was unpopular, and the world belonged to the Liu family, and Liu Heng should go to Chang'an to take the throne, and finally Liu Heng adopted Song Chang's opinion and became Emperor Wen of Han. Zhang Wuhou died in a battle with the Huns because of guarding Xiao Pass.

(Xiaoguan, southeast of present-day Guyuan, Ningxia.) The Liupan Mountain Range lies in the northwest of Guanzhong and is its northwest barrier. The passage into Guanzhong from Longshang is mainly the valley lowland cut by the Wei River, Jing River and other rivers. The direction of the Wei River is more steep, while the direction of the Jing River is relatively easy. Xiao Pass stands in the Liupan Mountain Pass, guarding the passage from the direction of the Jing River into Guanzhong. Xiaoguan is an important pass in the northwest of Guanzhong, which protects the safety of Guanzhong and the northwest.

At the same time, according to the corresponding records, Zhang Wu's death in Xiaoguan should be in the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen of Han (166 BC). In this year, the Xiongnu had entered Xiao Pass, raiding Beidi and other counties, causing the Guanzhong to shake, Zhang Wu should have been defeated and killed or committed suicide at the same time as the Xiongnu entered Xiao Pass. )

As the knight lieutenant of the Zhonglang army, Zhang Jiashi valued Zhang Wu's loyalty and command talent for the knight troops.

After Zhang Jiashi authorized Zhang Wu to join the Zhonglang army, he received a complaint from Yu Yong, that is, Zhang Wu was not too proficient in riding war horses, let alone fighting on war horses.

When Zhang Jiashi heard this, he was also a little stunned in his heart, and even had an idea, that is, whether this Zhang Wu was the same person as the Zhang Wu recorded in history.

However, despite such doubts, Zhang Jiashi still comforted Yu Yong: "That Zhang Tunchang's ability may not have been shown yet, and at the moment, we don't have a major war, Lang Zhongling, don't you think it would be better to wait and see what happens?"

Yu Yong, who heard Zhang Jiashi's words, nodded after a while. Because although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Wu, Yu Yong still admired this subordinate who was older than him in some situations.

And Zhang Jiashi's leniency has also achieved good results.

In the past two or three years, in many ways, Zhang Wu's ability has grown rapidly, and even in terms of arranging troops, even Yu Yong is difficult to compare.

This is not to say that the command ability of the two is quite poor, on the contrary, Yu Yong's combat experience is relatively rich, and Zhang Wu has read a lot of military books, and his strength in this area may be a good talent.

After knowing this situation, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but show a smile, because he could be sure of one thing, that is, even if this Zhang Wu was not the big man in history, he was probably a good talent.

......

After Zhang Wu received the order, he didn't feel strange in his heart.

Because he knew that Zhang Jiashi had let their thousands of Zhonglang knight troops be equipped with this kind of saddle, not to let them become showmanship.

After getting acquainted with this saddle, he thought that it would greatly improve the knight's combat ability.

Therefore, he was also very excited, because being able to fight Xiang Yu was an idea of many officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Empire.

Some officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Empire wanted to fight Xiang Yu, mainly to avenge the hatred of the Qin officers and soldiers who were killed in the pit in Thorn Yuan; some Qin officers and soldiers wanted to fight Xiang Yu mainly to prove that the enemy that Zhang Jiashi valued was more than that; and some wanted to fight Xiang Yu, more to prove their own ability.

And Zhang Wu is one of the holders of the third idea.

Zhang Wu is not the kind of frog at the bottom of the well, he doesn't think that Xiang Yu can have such a reputation, it is a false situation. On the contrary, after entering the Zhonglang Legion, Zhang Wu learned a lot about the Battle of Julu from many robes.

He was also a little in awe of Xiang Yu, because Zhang Jiashi himself did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to win against Xiang Yu in the battle under roughly equal circumstances.

Zhang Wu wouldn't think like this, but Zhang Wu, who was more confident in his heart, wouldn't have too much fear of Xiang Yu.

What he has to do is to let himself go all out in this battle.

......

Zhang Wu also has his own small ambition, that is, to use his own meritorious services in the army to be promoted or even get a good military merit title.

Although compared to Zhang Jiashi's military merit titles before he took control of the Great Qin Empire, many privileges of the current military merit titles have been abolished, it does not mean that the military merit titles are things that make them disdain.

On the contrary, many people are still proud that they have a new Great Qin Emperor.

Zhang Jiashi has reduced a lot of the original military merit privileges that he himself thinks will easily lead to the end of the tail.

Before Zhang Jiashi gained control of Guanzhong, the 20-level military merit title system in the Great Qin Empire, except for the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi, was a military merit title system that rewarded military merit and encouraged the killing of the enemy to win, which was a measure taken by the emerging landlord class to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and it was also one of the ways to adjust the social relations at that time.

The significance of the title of military merit is relatively positive, because in order to reward military merits, Shang Ying stipulated that all people in the army, regardless of their family background, should be rewarded according to the size of their military merits. Even the clans of the Qin State were like this. Those who have not made military merits in the clan shall not be included in the clan books and shall not have a title.

Private fighting is prohibited. Shang Ying believed that it was right for soldiers to fight for the country and bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield, and that fighting in the countryside was powerless for the sake of selfishness. Private fighting is prohibited, and violators will be punished severely.

There is a punishment system for military merit itself, which is mainly about depreciation, seizure, and demotion. Officials who have behaved badly or have been derelict in their duties shall be reduced by the state, and if the circumstances are serious, the title shall be revoked and the knighthood shall be directly executed.

It is very likely that Fan Sui's death is the result of the implication decree that is a serious circumstance:

According to Yunmeng Qin Jian's "Chronicle": "In the fifty-second year of King Qin Zhao, Wang Ji and Zhang Lu died. ”

Zhang Lu is Fan Ju's pseudonym in Qin, which can be seen that in the fifty-second year of King Qin Zhao (255 BC), when the Qin army failed to attack Handan, Zheng Anping, who was protected by Fan Ju, surrendered to Zhao and Hedong was lost, according to the law of Qin "if the person who is protected commits a crime, the person who is protected will be punished together" (in simple terms, it is a kind of joint sitting), he was executed by King Qin Zhao.

In terms of the corresponding rights of military meritorious, in the army, the rank is different, and the meals eaten at each meal are even different. The third-level jue (hairpin) has a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, and a plate of vegetable soup. Those who are "made" with two-level titles can only eat coarse rice, and it is good that ordinary soldiers without titles can fill their stomachs.

Military merit can be passed on. If a father dies in battle, his credit can be credited to the son. If one person obtains military merits, the whole family can benefit.

When the knighthood reaches the five doctors, the tax of 300 households can be eaten. If you have outstanding military merits and have 600 households of food and clothing, you can raise soldiers (your own retainers and samurai).

It is distributed in kind to officials at all levels. Mainly corn, which can be exchanged for cloth. In other cases, the king would give money and gold to the officials, but the amount was small and did not belong to the normal salary. The time unit for the issuance of the Yulu is that the Qin State distributes the Yulu in years, which is called the Year of the Year. It is mainly corn, and its unit of measurement is "stone". (Qin 1 stone = 30.) 75 kg)

......

After Zhang Jiashi's corresponding adjustment of the military merit system, there are three main points:

On the contrary, according to the class division of military meritorious titles, for example, if a civil lord from the first to the fifth class commits a crime, and the evidence is overwhelming, the punishment will be increased by half in accordance with the provisions of the corresponding "New Qin Law". The sixth to the tenth rank of the official is to increase the punishment by one degree, and so on.

The second point, after thinking about it, Zhang Jiashi amended the corresponding title inheritance regulations. However, those who are knights can pass on their sons, but they will be reduced by two ranks, and the official titles (eleventh and fifteenth ranks) will be reduced to three ranks, and so on.

The third point is to compensate for the reduction of these rights. For example, the restrictions on doing business for those who have titles are relaxed, and corresponding tax incentives are given.
